    Well, main thing is you are still able to wear a pair out. From your posts, you are a busy and active man.
    Have often wondered. What is your average/typical days uptime, (12/14 hrs,), milking, (?), breakfast,(?), field work/equipment repair/prep, (?),
    parts/feeds/BOOTS shopping,(?), checking and fueling the truck. (?), to loading site/loading, (?), driving time to delivery, (?)., driving time back home, (?), then time spent on loving the boys and their Momma.
    Could make for a full day and the need to compensate sometimes to add more for that last chore.

    (You remind me of some Hinshaw folks who lived near Greenfield, IN. Could get tired just being near them.)

    I don’t know if I should take advice concerning anyone’s wallet from someone who’s neck is wider than the top of his head. o_O

    I've good luck with Double H boots I generally go for the "Assembled in USA" stuff they sell.

    Mud, slop, cow sheet, etc doesn't seem to effect them much. Comfort is decent after they break in a bit. I clean them every now and again with saddle soap then really put the Bick 4 on heavy.

    *edit*

    So I bought a machine to help me do those. It’s slower for sure but far less labor intensive. Does everything with the wheel standing up. Also turns it so’s I can polish with it. Not saying I’ll do that but I got hopes and stuff
